Namibia is southern Africa´s front runner in terms of solar energy. Solar could provide energy security for the country which currently depends heavily on fuel imports. This includes power and water heating for homes, but also heat for the food and mining industry and desalination of water.

Helvi Ileka was recently interviewed at the Solar World Congress in Abu Dhabi on how the roadmap of the Namibian government marks the shift towards solar.
